#The Lost Bookshop

[myinspirationjournalquotes]

Did anyone else get a lot of A.Z. FELL & Co. vibes from The Lost Bookshop? The way the bookshop was clearly alive and conspired about the people in its vicinity, the way it was capable of way more power than expected, the way it had whimsical little trinkets and odd books in so many places. (And especially in how it forced people to read specific books.)

It would be a fantastic au for an Ineffable Husbands fanfic.

The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods

This magical novel is a love letter to books, readers, authors, libraries and bookshops. Traveling between 1922 and a modern timeline, Woods captivates the reader by weaving magic with reality. She builds extremely strong, passionate and complex women in Opaline, Martha and Madame Bowden while keeping in line with the events evolving around them. Small but special appearances by James Joyce and Ernest Hemingway will delight readers, as will locations in France, England and Ireland.

A charming rom-com, especially perfect for March (set in Cobh)! Raine and Jack's charisma and connection will have readers chuckling and cheering. Jack has OCD and runs the LOCAL pub. Raine has recently dropped out of medical school, copes with ADHD and travels the world playing music. Full of lovable characters, readers will breeze through this novel and feel full-hearted after.

Perfect match for viewers of series Derry Girls. Maeve Murray and her friends work in the local factory as they await the results of their exams and what they hope will be the start of their new lives—away from their small town and The Troubles.

Book Review: The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods

The Lost Bookshop Kindle The Lost Bookshop by Evie WoodsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars Okay, that was an E-ride.  A lot of twists and turns, two timelines eventually merging and it still left enough in the air for a sequel at the very least. Bookshops have always been associated with magic because books contain stories that can readily transport you.View all my reviews Amazon   The Echo of Old…

The Lost Bookshop touched my soul. Evie Woods writes about three of the most important things in my life – books, strong women and hope.

For all the 'all of the women who have been marginalized in the past and continue to be written out of their stories, even today.'

The story is told by two women who, though they live generations apart, are able to claim their self-determination and liberty at the same location in Dublin, at 12 Ha’penny Lane.  In 1921, Opaline escapes a brutally domineering brother in London, finds her footing at a bookshop in Paris, but has to escape again to Dublin. In current times, Martha arrives in Dublin battered and bruised, having…

Unlike the movies, you don't just leave your home, your marriage and everything you knew and simply start a new life. There is a bit in between where you're just breathing—like a drowning man who clings to a rock. You know you're alive, you can move, even speak, but something is missing.

Today has been so enjoyable. Actually woke up when my alarm went off, did my am routine - even had a cup of tea - I finished ‘The Lost Bookshop’ and it was such a good read, during the rest of the morning I worked on some reading logs, and some commonplace pages, post lunch I started my new game on Switch and it is so much fun!! Had a couple of appointments this afternoon, but soon home having dinner and watching tv ft some ice cream and honeycomb pieces and more gaming. It’s still fairly early now, but I’m so worn out and ready to sleep.

Latest haul!

My readers are probably flabbergasted by now by the shear number of books I have purchased in the last few weeks. Quite a few of them have been purchased from the bargain section which has a lot to do with why I can afford so many (I think so). I know my husband is amazed I can find something to purchase every time I visit our local book store. Anyway, the three following books have been added to…
